In this first edition, Zulma publishing house will invite James Noël and Makenzy Orcel, two Haitian writers and poets, to bring the burning life of words to the City of Joy.

Born in 1983 (Haiti), Makenzy Orcel is an award-winning novelist and poet. His first novel Les
Immortelles (Zulma, 2012) is a very compelling – and poetic – work of fiction written right after the
devastating earthquake of 2010, and for which he received great critical acclaim.
In 2016, he is back with the masterful L’Ombre animale, a literary prowess where the author explores
new bounds of language and storytelling.
L’Ombre animale received numerous literary prizes including: Prix Littérature Monde 2016, Prix Louis
Guilloux 2016, Prix littéraire des Caraïbes de l’ADELF 2016, Prix Ethiophile 2016. Other publications
include : Le chant des collines (Mémoire d’encrier, 2017), La Nuit des terrasses (La Contre Allée, 2015)
and Caverne (La Contre Allée, 2017).
